John Stuart Mill - 527 words
John Stuart Mill After reading 100% of the book,
New Ideas From Dead Economists, I chose to write a
little summery of John Stuart Mill. I did a little
outside research on the subject, because his
theories and philosophies were intriguing to me. I
was impressed by his change in his views as he
entered his mid twenties. John Stuart Mill was
born in London on May 20, 1806, and was the oldest
son of James Mill. His education, as a boy, was
carried out by his father, James Mill. John's
discipline was extremely rigid, as a result, he
believed it gave him the intellectual advantage of
a quarter century on his contemporaries. Later in
life Mill recognized that his father's extreme
system of intellec ...

Kant And Mill - 1,023 words
Kant And Mill The task that stands before me in
this paper is to address two situations and
determine the ethical parameters in which a person
should act. The two philosophical approaches that
I will examine the situations with the Kantian and
Utilitarian point of view. Kant deciphers his
ethical questions by examining a persons
motivation for performing an act regardless of the
consequences. A person who utilizes the Kantian
view believes that the only pure good is pure
human reason without consequences. This pure human
reason works without the influence of human
emotions and desires. A truly good act as defined
by Kant is performed because of an obligation to
the categorical imperative. Th ...

Mill And Kants Theories - 1,643 words
Mill And Kant's Theories John Stuart Mill
(1808-73) believed in an ethical theory known as
utilitarianism. There are many formulation of this
theory. One such is, "Everyone should act in such
a way to bring the largest possibly balance of
good over evil for everyone involved." However,
good is a relative term. What is good?
Utilitarians disagreed on this subject. Mill made
a distinction between happiness and sheer sensual
pleasure. He defines happiness in terms of higher
order pleasure (i.e. social enjoyments,
intellectual). In his Utilitarianism (1861), Mill
described this principle as follows:According to
the Greatest Happiness Principle ... The ultimate
end, end, with reference to and for ...

That all people can achieve a similar level of

need the principles of Kant's categorically

acceptance, we must be willing to accept the

Steel Mill Immigrants Of Industrial America - 872 words
Steel Mill Immigrants Of Industrial America For
many Americans, the late nineteenth century was a
time of big business, marked by economic and
social evolution. In the period between the 1880
and 1920, the American economy was growing at a
rapid pace. Many European immigrants without
industrial skills flooded into American factories
and steel mills. These new comer's came in search
of better economic opportunity, which paved the
way for Heavy, low paying labor that became the
job description of the era for many immigrants.
One such story of immigrants of the time is Thomas
Bell's Out of this Furnace. This not only a story
of three generations of Slovaks and the challenges
they faced but also ...

Americans who are today in jail, occupies an

judiciary, and takes the time of 400,000
policemen--yet a plague for which no cure is at
hand, nor in prospect. Perhaps you, ladies and
gentlemen of the Bar, will understand it if I

A Gold Rush Leads to War A Gold Rush Leads to War
The American Civil War (1861-1865) and the
Reconstruction period that followed were the
bloodiest chapters of American history to date.
Brother fought brother as the population was split
along sectional lines. The issue of slavery
divided the nation's people and the political
parties that represented them in Washington. The
tension which snapped the uneasy truce between
north and south began building over slavery and
statehood debates in California. In 1848, settlers
discovered gold at Sutter's Mill, starting a mass
migration. By 1849, California had enough citizens
to apply for statehood. However, the debate over
whether the large western st ...

Abortion In Utilitarian Terms - 1,387 words
Abortion In Utilitarian Terms Abortion This essay
is an analysis of abortion in utilitarian terms.
Compared to some writings on abortion, it is very
short. And it is short for good reason:
utilitarianism really has very little to say on
this issue. Intuitionists will predictably take
this as proof of the inadequacy of utilitarianism.
The utilitarian, however, after noticing the
various muddles produced by the intuitionist - the
arguments over whether the fetus is a person,
whether one person has the right to the use of
another's body and/or whether someone has the
right to determine what occurs in their own body
(and in the case of both, the interminable debates
as to what is to be done abou ...

Absolutism And Relativism - 1,251 words
Absolutism And Relativism Absolutism and
relativism are two extreme ethical approaches to
reality. While they are both valid and supported
by facts, they are very contrasting in their
views. Values are what a person cares about and
thinks is worthwhile. For example, values can
include life, love, religious faith, freedom,
relationships, health, justice, education, family
and many other things. Usually these values are
what provides the passion in a person's life, and
gives them hope and a reason for being. A person
might go to any lengths to protect what they feel
is right and to preserve these values. Values can
be divided up into two subcategories: absolute and
relative. Absolute values de ...

Active Transport - 1,302 words
Active Transport Since the cell membrane is
somewhat permeable to sodium ions, simple
diffusion would result in a net movement of sodium
ions into the cell, until the concentrations on
the two sides of the membrane became equal. Sodium
actually does diffuse into the cell rather freely,
but as fast as it does so, the cell actively pumps
it out again, against the concentration
difference. The mechanism by which the cell pumps
the sodium ions out is called active transport.
Active transport requires the expenditure of
energy for the work done by the cell in moving
molecules against a concentration gradient. Active
transport enables a cell to maintain a lower
concentration of sodium inside the c ...
